If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, it’s natural to feel unsure about what to do next. Don’t worry—we’re here to help. You have three choices for your pregnancy: have an abortion, make an adoption plan, or choose to parent.
At Pee Dee Pregnancy Resource Center, we believe it’s essential to learn about each option so you can make an informed decision. Talk with a member of our team about your circumstances and what you hope to see in the future.
Whether you’re considering adoption or abortion (or have even the slightest desire to parent), understanding the resources and implications of each choice is critical. Schedule a no-cost, confidential appointment.
Are You Considering Abortion?
Understanding the various procedures, side effects to expect, and potential physical and emotional risks of abortion is vital. You need to discover how far along you are in your pregnancy, which determines the procedure you qualify for.
Both medical (the abortion pill method) and surgical abortions come with potential complications. The FDA approves the use of abortion drugs if your pregnancy is 10 weeks or less. Make sure you understand the side effects to expect since you will perform this abortion in your home without medical supervision.
For more information about abortion, talk with a member of our team. We provide medically based facts without judgment or lectures, and it costs you nothing to get the necessary information.
What Do You Think About Adoption?
Adoption is very different today from even a few decades ago. Today, the expectant mother or birth mother makes all of the decisions. Although it is an emotionally challenging decision, it can also be loving and practical, depending on your circumstances.
You can choose the adoptive parents who will raise your child and put them on the future path you want them to have. You can also determine how much contact you wish to have with your child and their adoptive family. In most cases, your medical and legal expenses are entirely covered, and it costs you nothing to place your child.
Adoption can provide a loving home for your child while allowing you to pursue your personal goals. Pee Dee is not a licensed child-placing agency, but we can offer referrals to excellent, local adoption agencies that provide thorough adoption counseling.
Did You Know It’s Possible to Be a Successful Parent?
Just because your pregnancy is unexpected doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If you don’t feel ready to parent but have a heart to parent, you owe it to yourself to explore this option. Feeling unprepared is normal, but many resources are available to help you build a strong foundation.
At Pee Dee, we provide no-cost parenting support. We can discuss your situation and determine what resources you need to be a successful parent. Our educational classes teach you about pregnancy, prenatal care, childbirth, and parenting. You’ll earn credits to purchase items in our Baby Boutique as you attend classes.
Parenting is challenging, but it is also extremely rewarding. We won’t let you parent alone, either. We’ll be right by your side along the way.
Can We Talk?
You have a big decision, but you don’t have to make it alone. We’re here for you. Schedule a no-cost, confidential appointment to discuss all three of your options.
You have a bright future ahead, and we want to help you reach it.
